Cry From The Grave

Bearing the stench

of my decaying self

as a prisoner beneath

the walls of death

I crave for the mercy

utterly denied

I crave for liberty

I truly desire

 

As the sharpened roots

of the devil's sword,

the deathbed to the cloud

painted white

by the holy messages

from sanctity's skies

pierce through my mind

and stabs to death

my memories which shed

an ocean of blood

which craves for the mercy

utterly denied

I crave for liberty

I truly desire

 

As scavengers devour

the final bits

of my filthy carcass

to bloodless ruins

as a helpless soul

within this skinless corpse

I crave for the mercy

utterly denied

I crave for liberty

I truly desire.

 

Against the deafness

of my putrefying ears

I Heard the whispers

of your triumphant sword

to the beheaded warrior

of the empire of dusk

but even as your touch

lit up this earth

your iniquitous ignorance

to my deafening plea

muted my cravings

for the mercy siezed

muted my cravings

for the liberty decieved

 

Destined to die

a repugnant death

as I welcomed the scroungers

to my final breath

I silently yearn

O divine one

to be enslaved no more

and betrayed by none

I silently yearn

O divine one

to be bloomed as dawn

not ever as sun
